Ok I am getting conflicting information from friends. My question is do you have to wear blaze orange for coyote hunting outside of deer season in Manitoba?
 
In Ontario you only need to wear blaze if you have a firearm in the bush during an open Big Game season ie. deer, moose. outside of that wear what you want. if you're wearing blaze while huntin coyote best of luck to ya, let me know how many you scare off ...
 
No and yes, No you do not need to wear orange outside of a big game season but remember there are many more seasons then deer.

Right now and at other times in some WMA's there is an/elk moose season. There are also bear seasons which all require you to wear orange
 
If you're coyote hunting with your trapping license you never need to wear orange.
If you're hunting coyotes on your big game hunting license while the area is open to that species of big game, you need to wear orange and your hunting license needs to be unused.

Info here: http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/wildlife/hunting/biggame/grwolf_coy/index.html

A resident may hunt gray wolves and coyotes in any valid GHA during the wolf and coyote season if they possess any big game hunting licence for the current licence year. However, if hunting in a GHA while the area is open to deer, elk, moose, black bear or caribou hunting, the wolf or coyote hunter must have an unused deer, elk, moose, black bear or caribou game tag (personal or party), which is valid for that area, species and time period. Where the deer, elk, moose, black bear or caribou hunting seasons are closed, a resident may hunt wolves or coyotes provided he/she is in possession of a used or unused deer, elk, moose, black bear or caribou licence.

There are also bear seasons which all require you to wear orange
There's no law requiring orange during the spring bear season.
 
Ok deer season and any other season I know of is closed where I'm going to coyote hunt. No orange it is. Didn't wear it the first time I went out to eastern MB. Thank-you very much for your responses.
